SUB-CONTRACT MANUFACTURING
Not everyone has the expertise, infrastructure, strategic need or financial strength to make their own product in-house. Here at Goudsmit UK, we manufacture, box, ship and warehouse a range of products for clients just like you. They cover a variety of different industry sectors and order quantities range from 5k to 250k+ units per year.
This client is involved in the air movement business and is a long established company based in the UK. The decision to outsource was driven by several factors:
- A desire to release leased space thus saving expensive rental costs
- The cost saving from actual unit price of the product
- A reduction in stock and WIP
- Being released from capital expenditure on manufacturing equipment
- Savings derived from a reduction in headcount
The client has long since successfully outsourced manufacture to Goudsmit UK who have been stocking and supplying an entire product range for over 12 years

A small client wanted to grow but had limitations in terms of headcount and finance. Their product is a combination of machined, stamped and CNC turned parts, boxed and delivered to the USA, Asia and Europe. They used Goudsmit UK for sub-contract manufacture for the following reasons:
- They had restricted access to funding so could not lease factory space and machinery
- They did not want to expand their low headcount
- Their internal expertise was in product design and not manufacture
- With a global client base they needed global production and a global distribution network
- Help was needed with the industrialisation of their products
- Working capital requirements were reduced by having Goudsmit UK hold stocks
This client has seen their business expand greatly in the last 7 years and Goudsmit UK have been sub-contract manufacturing their product for 9 years.

This client is a large multi-national making a product used in the building trade. With the launch of their product they made a decision not to manufacture in house as it was a departure from their normal business area. They had several reasons to use Goudsmit UK as a sub-contract manufacturer:
- Competing in a global market price was everything. They could benchmark Goudsmit UK against several other suppliers
- Given the global use of the product they wanted a high quality manufacturer who would warranty the product
- They wanted to piggyback the distribution onto a pre-existing proven global supply chain
- As is more often the case the company wished to reduce working capital requirements so they needed to partner with someone who would stock globally for them
The partnership is now in its third year and the product is in global distribution.
